It's more than likely that you will have read at least one of Elaine Feinstein's 15 novels or 19 collections of poetry or listened to one of her radio plays.

So now is your chance to meet her in person at an event that is part of the Manchester Literature Festival. We are delighted to welcome Ms Feinstein, a Jewish girl who grew up in Leicester and decided to dedicate her life to writing. After graduating from Cambridge her writing career took off.

Tonight she will discuss her long awaited memoir “It Goes with the Territory: Memoirs of a Poet.”

The event will be chaired by Michael Schmidt, founder and editor of Carcanet Press.
